Cybersecurity Risk Management and Strategy

We have developed and implemented a cybersecurity risk management program intended to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of our critical systems and information. As part of our risk management program, we reference various security industry frameworks and other guidance, including the National Institute of Standards and Technology Cybersecurity Framework (NIST CSF), HIPAA, Service Organization Control Type 2 (SOC 2 Type II), and Sarbanes-Oxley IT General Controls (SOX ITGC), to help us assess, identify and manage cybersecurity risks relevant to our business. This does not imply that we meet any particular technical standards, specifications, or requirements, only that we use the NIST CSF, HIPAA, SOC 2 Type II, and SOX ITGC as guides to help us identify, assess, and manage cybersecurity risks relevant to our business.

Our cybersecurity risk management program isintegrated into our overall risk management program, and shares common methodologies, reporting channels and governance processes that apply across the risk management program to other legal, compliance, strategic, operational, and financial risk areas.

Key elements of our cybersecurity risk management program include but are not limited to the following:

•

risk assessments are performed and designed to help identify material risks from cybersecurity threats to our critical systems and information;

•

a security team principally responsible for managing (1) our cybersecurity risk assessment processes, (2) our security controls, and (3) our response to cybersecurity incidents;

•

the use of external service providers orthird party software, where appropriate, to assess, test or otherwise assist with aspects of our security processes;

•

cybersecurity awareness training of our employees, including incident response personnel;

•

an incident response plan that includes procedures for responding to cybersecurity incidents; and

•

a third-party vendor risk management process for key service providers based on the security teams assessment of their criticality to our operations and respective risk profile.

We have not identified risks from known cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any prior cybersecurity incidents, that have materially affected us, including our operations, business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. We face risks from cybersecurity threats that, if realized, are reasonably likely to materially affect us, including our operations, business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. See the risk factor titled, “Our business and operations may suffer in the event of information technology system failures, cyber attacks, or deficiencies in our cybersecurity.” for additional information.

Cybersecurity Governance

Our Board of Directors considers cybersecurity risk as part of its risk oversight function and has delegated to the Audit Committee oversight of cybersecurity risks, including oversight of management’s implementation of our cybersecurity risk management program.

The Audit Committee receives quarterly reports from management on our cybersecurity risks. In addition, management updates the Committee, where it deems appropriate, regarding cybersecurity incidents it considers to be significant or potentially significant.

The Audit Committee reports to the full Board of Directors regarding its activities, including those related to cybersecurity. The full Board of Directors also periodically receives briefings from management on our cybersecurity risk management program. Members of the Board of Directors receive presentations on cybersecurity topics from our Executive Director Information Security as part of the Board of Directors’ continuing education on topics that impact public companies.

Our management team, including the Executive Director of Information Security and Chief Technology Officer (CTO), are responsible for assessing and managing our material risks from cybersecurity threats. The team has primary responsibility for our overall cybersecurity risk management program and supervises both our internal cybersecurity personnel and our retained external cybersecurity consultants. Our management team’s experience includes a cumulative 22 years of experience in assessing and managing risk throughout organizations. In addition, hold industry specific certifications such as Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA) and Certified Data Privacy Solutions Engineer (CDPSE).

Our management team takes steps to stay informed about and monitor efforts to prevent, detect, mitigate, and remediate cybersecurity risks and incidents through various means, which may include briefings from internal security personnel, threat intelligence, other information obtained from governmental, public or private sources, including external consultants engaged by us, and alerts and reports produced by security tools deployed in our IT environment.
